Generating potential flood risk maps through hydrogeological modelling for flood projections in a Geographic Information System, assessing infrastructure and human vulnerability at three different scenarios, and proposing solutions for better disaster management.
Generating maps, graphs and charts using digital mapping techniques, computer interactive graphics and field collected data (GPS data, questionnaires and surveys).
Collating data from satellite and airborne-based sensors using remote sensing techniques to complete various mapping projects.
Working with geographical information systems (GIS) to model and analyze topographical landscape features within the framework of geological explorations and mining permit acquisition.
Operating photogrammetric plotting instruments ( 3D stealth mouse and Nvidia 3D vision 2 stereoscopic glasses) and digital photogrammetric workstations to view photographs stereoscopically in 3D format using summit evolution software, to produce accurate orthophotos for clients.
Increasing productivity, accuracy and efficiency during data upload procedures and orthophoto generation by conducting research and producing work methodology manuals.
Compiling data, aerial photographs and survey notes for new map development.
Comparing topographical features and contour lines with images from aerial photographs, old maps and other reference materials to verify accuracy of identification.
Presenting GIS software systems and data collection methods via training courses within the framework of a port management and logistics seminar.
Performing controls on aerial photographs and satellite imagery to identify anomalies (distortions) and ensure authenticity of deliverables. This permits enterprises to make purchase validation decisions, avoiding time wastage, and financial losses.
